OBM SIG

Organisational behaviour management (OBM) is the application of behavioural principles to individuals and groups working within business, industry, government, and human service settings. OBM has its roots in the field of applied behaviour analysis; it focuses on what people do, analyses why they do it, and then applies an evidence-based intervention strategy to produce socially significant change in human behaviour. Modern OBM includes a number of sub-disciplines such as performance management, systems analysis, and behaviour-based safety.
